At the time I could have gone, I firstly screwed up my A levels a bit by not choosing the right subjects and playing in too many bands! Secondly my Dad was losing his job in the yard and I thought I ought to get a job to help out etc. I ended up at a local company but still went to college to do an HND. I now work at one of the top universities in the country - if not the world - I often feel a total fraud in that environment.<br /><br />However the cleverest man I've ever worked with left school with A levels (only boy ever at his school to pass 3) and never went near a college - but he ended up a VP in one of the largest company's in the world and then briefly top manager in a venerable institution in the City of London before telling them they had no idea and walked away into a semi-retirement.Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-4771371417888642942012-07-09T15:21:00.180+01:002012-07-09T15:21:00.180+01:00I look forward to it.

I didn't link you there because I wasn't sure which one to link.<br /><br />No matter whether your voice sound better in your head or your voice in your head sounds better, it sounds better than my other half's voice. I promise you. There are several people who from time to time have sat in front of him in church who have mentioned it.<br /><br />We can stress out on grammar. It's easy to do. You do it because you are a writer. I do it because I taught English for a bit. I think, though, that we should put a limit on how long we worry a word and then just use it if it makes sense.<br /><br />Sorry about the street person's death. It is hard to know what to do. We can only do so much. You DO do much. The rest is in HIS hands.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.com
